Antares

ASPIRE is the world's first tool for modifying a voice's breathiness independently of its harmonic content. Whether reducing a bit of vocal rasp or adding a bit of smokiness, ASPIRE allows modification of the amount and quality of a voice's aspiration noise without otherwise affecting the vocal's harmonic characteristics.

Aspiration noise presents itself in a variety of ways, from a subtle bit of breathiness to a full-blown rasp. Of course, whether it's a problem or not depends on the amount of noise and the style of a performance. A whole lot of roughness that would work well for screaming punk or roots blues might well be a problem for mainstream pop or a smooth ballad (of course, it also might not). Up to now, there wasn't much you could do about it. Now, with ASPIRE, there is.

Key ASPIRE features include:

• The ability to match a vocal quality to a performance style by decreasing or increasing a voice's natural breathiness
• A band of parametric EQ to modify the quality of the aspiration noise component of the vocal
• A real-time display that lets you visualize the effect of the aspiration noise processing
